identify picture !?

This is pretty n00b of me, but ... who's that with Brian at 2:20?

Looks like 70s Dave Gilmour, but he wasn't a Les Paul guy.


...as for the video itself, once again the utter brilliance of Good Company just doesn't get the praise it deserves.

One of the Thin Lizzy guys perhaps? They were Les Paul players, toured with Queen and, if the guy in the picture is Snowy White, even have a connection to David Gilmour. Who, FYI, recorded the solo from Another Brick In The Wall part 2 on a Les Paul :-).

Sure looks like David Gilmour to me. Not sure if this is relevant:

And here's a some stuff on his Les Paul guitars.

I agree... either Snowy White or David Gilmore. I'm opting for the former though.

Gilmour rarely played with a LP between 1970~1978. In The Wall records (1979), he plays Another Brick in The Wall's solo with his LP. He also played at the tour shows (1980~1981) with the LP, at the Another Brick solo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tWpVcA7rekE#t=224s), but in The Wall tour (1980~1981) he hadn't the long hair anymore.

This is a freakin' puzzle. I'm trying to find anything about this image for hours, and haven't found nothing. Jesus Christ.

Could it be Clayton Moss at one of The Cross gigs Brian guested at ?

Good call. Brian hairstyle doesn't exactly make it easy to tell when a picture was taken, so it's possible. Still from the looks of him I'd say the picture was taken in the late 70's/early 80's.

I disagree, I think this is a late 80s Brian. Hair seems late 80s, also the white shirt with sleeves rolled up is in tune with this period

Yeah, weirdly it's not that easy to date the picture based on Bri's appearance, but I'm going with around 1991. His hair's got that red tinge that I don't remember being present at any time other than around Innuendo.

And if that's right, then the gig must be one of the ones here - http://www.queenconcerts.com/live/brian-may/guest/6.html - which should hopefully narrow things down.

That picture is probably from the nineties!

In that case it's most certainly not Gilmour, who was kind of
follicly challenged by then and had cut his hair by 1978..

This picture is about Brian May with The Cross, London 7.12.1990 at Astoria.

On a different note, this video would be a lot better if it would have the whole solos instead of cutting off the beginning and end of most of them
